Zero. For example, if two people pull in the same direction, they are more effective than if they pull in opposite directions. The latter (180°) is the worst-case scenario in this case.
No matter what the angles are:* Express the vectors in Cartesian (rectangular) coordinates; in two dimensions, this would usually mean separating them into an x-component and a y-component. * Add the components of all the vectors. For example, the x-component of the resultant vector will be the sum of the x-components of all the other vectors. * If you so wish (or the teacher so wishes!), convert the resulting vector back into polar coordinates (i.e., distance and direction).
obtuse angle
That's a reflex angle. 0 to <90 Acute angle 90 Right angle >90 to <180 Obtuse angle 180 Straight angle >180 to <360 Reflex angle 360 called Full circle
just an angle, like any other angle.
if you add the vectors magnitude and equal to resultant the angle between them is 0
Yes - if the vectors are at an angle of 60 degrees. In that case, the two vectors, and the resultant, form an equilateral triangle.Yes - if the vectors are at an angle of 60 degrees.

The magnitude depends on the angle between the vectors. The magnitude could be from 0 to 600 N.
The resultant vector has maximum magnitude if the vectors act in concert. That is, if the angle between them is 0 radians (or degrees). The magnitude of the resultant is the sum of the magnitudes of the vectors.For two vectors, the resultant is a minimum if the vectors act in opposition, that is the angle between them is pi radians (180 degrees). In this case the resultant has a magnitude that is equal to the difference between the two vectors' magnitudes, and it acts in the direction of the larger vector.At all other angles, the resultant vector has intermediate magnitudes.
It is not possible. The maximum magnitude is obtained when the vectors are aligned and in this case the resultant has a magnitude which is the sum of the individual vectors. In the given example, the maximum possible magnitude for the resultant is 16 units. In general |a+b| <= |a| + |b| where a, b are vectors and |a| is the magnitude of a
Yes. This will happen if the two vectors are at an angle of 120 degrees.
Yes, it can.A simple example as when two vectors of the same magnitude act at an angle of 120 degrees to one another.

The smallest resultant of two vectors is the sum of two equal vectors which make an angle of 180 degrees among each other.
